This Maya tutorial shows how to model the female head and face. Creating attractive women is a must for any character artist – this tutorial shows how to create a female head that not only animates well, but looks pretty doing it!
The character modeling process in the video shows how to model proper topology around the eyes and mouth, the two key areas for animation. Follow along and your resulting mesh will have zero triangles!

16:25 There is massive change without instruction…
so would you extrude the hair from the head or would you create it from one of the primitives?
This is the best tutorial i ever seen 🙂
6:56 (Bookmark)
for the life of me duplicate special will not do what it did for you. i have changed all the settings and it just doesnt work….
Hey James, As usual nothing short of excelent keep it up!!!!
sir..!how to create eyes on face model
I love the feature to “go back 30 sec” or even “go back 10 sec” .. but for you tutorial I need something like “go back 500 msec” xD
Well done @James Taylor and Thank you!! 🙂
Super helpful, thanks brother.
where are the ‘harden and soften edges tools’ in Maya 2017 LT? I cant find ’em for toffee?
no instruction btw 16.18 – >16.34 confusing ….
I see Maya is more precise than Zbrush when you are making a 3d model using reference images.
nice
Hey your tutorials are amazing! I never before have encountered more in depth tutorials that yours. There are very easy to follow. Thanks for making them and please continue to make more! 🙂
For anyone wondering, I just purchased the tutorial package and it does not come with the images planes, they have to be purchased separately. Also, the videos are not slowed down and none of the tools are explained or how to access them. If you’re like me and have little experience in Maya, these videos are probably are not for you. If you already know the tools and your way around Maya very well, then you’re all set.
Out of curiosity… why are triangles bad? Why do you mostly want quads?
Hey can you do a tutorial on making hair?
the best tutorial that i have ever seen. thank you very much
You just created a customer.
how is he extruding around that edge when making eye?
I use blender I’m a noob still
The best tutorial I’ve ever seen! So minimalistic yet so much form!!
thank you very much for this tutorial, it has been extremely helpful! ? I am currentlly in my 2nd last year of studying 3D modeling and animation! my lecturer refered this to his students
How did you connect the head to the body? my head has more edge loops than my body. i dont know if its a good idea to add more loops on the body or if theres another way to do it
Does anyone know how to get rid of that ugly seam in the middle where both halves of the face are combined?
I think im getting close to mastering the whole character modeling thanks to you. However, I do have issues modeling things like hair. Theres so many different types its hard to find a tutorial, especially if the model is stylized like mine and has wavy hair.
flat planes with alpha maps on their textures
CV curve tool converted into geometry
Xgen rendering
and of course just geometry
Can you do a tutorial about how to make hair? Like the one in here.
Thank you for your tutorials ! i use blender and i could not find any good modeling tutorials for it so i looked at this , blender and maya are very similar so i was able to follow along 😀
I love your tutorials, you have been a great help. Keep up the good work!
Nice
hey I am stuck at the part where you conneceted the face and skull
Honestly I’ve been struggling with modeling the face for my class, and I absolutely love this tutorial. It’s not too long and easy to follow, plus your voice is so relaxing that I’m not losing concentration and wanting to leave
esse corte que você deu na hora de unir a cabeça a esfera me quebrou cara, estava seguindo passo a passo e nessa hora já era.
can i use your technique to model open mouth ‘s reference
10/10(:
Sir Taylor more tutorial
This man is a genius.
